Chalk up another Kevin Butler dig at Microsoft's Kinect
This time, a response to the rumours that players can only use Microsoft's motion controller while standing. As Kevin Butler swiftly points out, PlayStation Move can do the whole shebang, including "Sitting Gaming". We're digging KB's VP-ehicle by the way. Amazing.

News These Are The PlayStation Move Commercials You Can Expect To See In Europe
The SCEE commercials for PlayStation Move are pretty much what you'd expect
They focus on the accuracy pillar of Sony's motion device and play into the whole "cardboard cut-out" thing that SCEE's been pushing for the past year. In honesty, they're functional and fine, but we're not convinced they really hammer home the unique nature of...

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories proved to me that survival horror benefits from motion control better than most other genres

First Impressions RUSE on PlayStation 3 Demo
The real time strategy genre on consoles has proved a tough nut to crack

If there's one genre we love, it's the tennis game genre
